I’m
a stop on this year’s RRBC “TREAT”
Reads Blog Hop, and yesterday [Day 9] I had got the pleasure of introducing Bette
Stevens.
Author, Bette Stevens
Inspired
by nature and human nature, author Bette A. Stevens is a retired elementary and
middle school teacher, a wife, mother of two and grandmother of five. Stevens
lives in Central Maine with her husband on their 37-acre farmstead where she

caterpillars will eat).

Book Blurb:
Whether or not You Grew Up in the 1950s
and 60s, you'll find DOG BONE SOUP (Historical Fiction) to be soup for the
soul.
In this coming-of-age novel, Shawn Daniels’s father is the town drunk.
Shawn and his brother Willie are in charge of handling everything that needs to
be done around the ramshackle place they call home—lugging in water for cooking
and cleaning, splitting and stacking firewood…But when chores are done, these
resourceful kids strike out on boundless adventures that don’t cost a dime. DOG
BONE SOUP is the poignant tale of a dysfunctional family struggling to survive
in America in the 50s and 60s, when others were living The American Dream.
